Its about time that Albanians learn about recycling. It will make a huge difference in the country. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this wish will come true:))
What recycling, how can there be recycling without recycling facilities????? Apparently the IFC and OSCE have too much money to throw around (not that the garbage is not a major problem unfortunately :( )

Contrary, i think that Albania is one of the most energy efficient countries in the world.
We have electricity cuts, water cuts. We don't have as many cars as other countries. We don't waste energy on dryers but hang clothes outside. We eat 100% fresh organic food. There are paid collectors for aluminium cans. These gypsies are also involved in "recylcing" whatever they can get from landfills. We pass on clothes to younger siblings or cousins. We use paper more moderatly. My first months in Canada i felt sick! But it's ok, coz here a lot of paper is produced anyway, so it is cheap. We don't use central heating. We have less appliances at home...etc..etc..etj...etj
Still there is much room for improvement. The Neatherlands is the best for cleansiness!

I saw that Tirana airport now has separate bins for various waste materials - but I'm not sure many people are aware of their purpose yet. I wonder who does their recycling, too.
